A flier will be coming home tomorrow with four important dates on it. They are as follows:
1. No School Friday, March 17 due to Staff Development Day
2. The Education Fair is next Tuesday, 3/21 from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. Students will view the projects during the day. Project drop-off will be held on 3/20 from 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. and on 3/21 from 7:20 - 8:20 a.m. We ask that you take your projects home the night of the Fair if you are attending.
3. The 3rd Grade Chorus Concert has been rescheduled to next Wednesday, 3/22 at 6:45. I apologize that this means two nights in a row for our third grade parents.
4. Dr. Aaron Gleason, PhD, will be here on 4/11 from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. to discuss students who worry and what can be done about it. More information about this important evening will be sent home soon.
In addition to the above, and as indicated in a previous
letter, the New York State English Language Arts assessment will take place on
the mornings of March 28, 29, and 30 for our third through fifth grade
students. Please help us out by making sure students arrive to school on time,
are well-rested, and are well-fed.
Student Council is continuing to accept donations to
purchase fleece to make blankets for Project Linus. All interested fifth
graders will be invited to stay after school one day in April to help make
no-sew blankets. Please let me know if you would be willing to help with this
endeavor.

This week’s words of the day are pollination (K, M), and gravity
(3, Th). Next week’s words of the day are descend
(4, M), obstacle (5, T), deciduous (K, W), contented (1, Th), and immigrated
(2, F).
Hopefully you’re not too sore from shoveling. It has to stop
sometime! I'd much rather have students in the building than empty hallways. Here are a couple of cool things I got to see earlier this week. I love seeing students work together to solve problems!

| Students work with Makey Makey's to build electrical circuits in the library. |

| Students program robots with Mrs. Ritch and Mrs. Tuttle. |
Enjoy the rest of the week!
